<span>The culture contains 2*10^8 bacteria before it was exposed to ionizing radiation which kills 99.99% of the bacteria. The number of bacteria left after the radiation would be:

final number= initial number * (100%- radiation kill rate)
</span>final number= 2*10^8<span>  *(100%-99.99%)
</span>final number= 2*10^8  *(0.01%)
final number= 2*10^8  * 10^-6
final number= 2*10^(8-6)
final number= 2*10^2

What do you mean by atmospheric pressure​
djverab [1.8K]

The pressure exerted by the earth's atmosphere at any given point. Pressure caused by the weight of the air. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Also known as barometric pressure.

Describe the structure of nucleus.​
lukranit [14]
<h2>✿━━━━@♥ℳg━━━━✿</h2><h2 /><h2>\boxed{Explained\:Answer}</h2><h2>______________________________</h2><h2 /><h2>✿━━━━@♥ℳg━━━━✿</h2><h2 /><h2>Nuclear membrane</h2>

The nucleus is enclosed by a double layered cellular membrane called the nuclear membrane.

<h2>Nucleoplasm</h2>

The nucleus contains a nuclear sap, enclosed by the nuclear envelope, which is known as the nucleoplasm. This holds the nucleoli and suspends the chromatins.

<h2>Nucleolus</h2>

The nucleolus is a sub-organelle present inside the nucleus. It can be observed as a dark spot under the microscope.

Nucleoli are made up of proteins, ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and ribosomal DNA (rDNA).

<h2>Chromatin network</h2>

DNA gets associated with protein molecules to form chromatins.

Chromatins are present in the nucleoplasm.

Hypothesize ways that we could stop the<br> flow of carbons into the atmosphere?
vovikov84 [41]

We can possibly stop carbon flow into the atmospehere by

  • Carbonisation process
  • Storing carbons in the organic tisues (Green carbon)
  • Blue carbon
  • Artificial carbon sinks

Explanation:

Growing carbon in the atmosphere has wreaked havoc on the natural functioning of the ecosystem. This has altered the way of the natural flow of matter in the geo-biographic cycle. Following methods can be improvised to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

  • Carbonisation process- Through this process atmospheric carbon dioxide can be stored in the natural rocks through the process of carbonisation, where elements react with atmospheric carbon under-stimulated condition to form carbonate rocks. Later these rocks are stored.
  • Storing carbons in the organic tissues (Green carbon)- Plants and trees utilise atmospheric carbon to synthesise foods and make tissues. The proliferation of plants can remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their organic tissues. This carbon stored in the plant tissues is often called Green Carbon.
  • Blue carbon- Marine plants and some organism utilise carbon to proliferate like phytoplankton’s and other. The atmospheric carbon us trapped in their body tissues. Later when they die, the body is decomposed and is recycled in the depths of the ocean. Hence atmospheric carbon is sequestered in the depth of the Ocean indirectly. These are often called Blue carbon.
  • Artificial carbon sinks- Artificial sinks such as natural caves, underground caverns can be used to store carbon dioxide after separating it from the air. This carbon can be later utilised into the productive use for plants growth or any other purpose.
